OK, I must say I am IN LOVE with the fact that RRS has come back into our lives again, I was missing it! The difference in Krash now is phenomenal! It has been so fun to revisit this verse and talk about it with him, read the book, and watch him grow. He just gets it so much more now. It became very obvious to me this week that expanding RRS to Kindergarten was totally a God thing, as HE has totally shown up this week as we have worked with this RRSK unit.

I did the cutting for him, he searched for the words as we recalled the verse together. We did this on day 2, and he knew the verse tune by this point and was singing it to me in the photo on the right. He was at the part that says “verse 1” and was holding up his 1 finger! So cute!

LOVE the tongue. Above you can also see the mini book sitting next to him. We are pulling the book out to work on it again. The easy reader is a part of the Letter Aa RRS Preschool set.

Following my oral directions…

Finding words that start with A and actually enjoying the tracing of the letters!

Practicing counting and writing numbers through 20…

At the end of the unit he told me his story, which I love. He was a bit confused, but that’s to be expected. I explained that I wanted him to look at the picture {of the mom with the kids on the couch} and think of a story to tell me about it.

Here it is:

Once there was a snowy week then soon happened a tornado came after the snow. Soon the storm stopped. Then they were driving in a car and they were speeding like super fast and they got in trouble. Then they were driving in the car again and soon there was another tornado and they drove into it. Then they turned and went in their bedrooms and sat on the couch with their mom. She said, “it will be alright kids.” They went to bed and went to sleep until the storm stopped. The tornado was crazy, it kept going and going! It barley stopped for 15 hours and then the snow came back. Then they were finally happy. They shouted to God, “ Thank you for stopping this storm.”

He loved watching me write and kept saying, “man that is a big word, wow!” Dictating stories teaches kids so many things, I hope you enjoy this with your young children too!

Now that he is a big boy, he colored all 4 Color by # Sight Words in one sitting, and I laminated them to use for Word Play!

He also used them as templates as he put together his words.

He completed a word reading assessment and read 21 correctly, missing 11-which showed me the words he needed to work on. One of the new activities Annie from The Moffat Girls has created: Sight Word Graphing, featured one of his trouble words: said, as well as the sight word for RRSK Letter Aa: away, so I had him work on it!

The Kindergarten Printables were a HUGE success! Probably his favorite part-which surprised me! He loved learning more than/less than with the pirate images and alligator. We joked that the alligator would only eat MORE. We used our mini pocket chart and played the “game” many times and in various ways. Sometimes leaving the alligator out, sometimes putting him in first and putting the amounts in the proper place. Best part-he had no CLUE he was learning , he just had fun!

The number line activity was his very favorite and he asked to play with me in his free time! First, I taught him that it was a number line and we talked about why. We practiced counting and then began hiding numbers under the pirate. It turned into a fun close-your-eyes game and he greatly improved his “counting-on” skills while playing!

Krash lived up to his nickname getting his very first stitches this past week! He got two on his forehead after tumbling from the high monkey bars while on the playground at church. he was such a trooper!!!
